Does caffeine improve your gaming experience? - Page 4

I usually don't load up on caffiene when pulling for high scores. I'll give it a try though and let you know if I win some of these goodies.

The Caffeine Must Flow!

I shall not run out of caffeine.
It is the mind killer.
Running out is the little death that brings total obliteration.
I will have caffeine.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see it path.
Where the caffeine has gone there will be happiness.
My mind will remain.

... and if anyone gets those ****ed up references and I win I'll share ... if you live close enough

I....I.....I love you caffeine.....what would the world do without you.

Yup just put it to the test. Spent three hours at my local LAN centre (http://www.lanforce.co.uk) pwning everyone on CoD after 3 cans of Red Bull.

That is from one of my favorite movies... Dune.

The "Fear is the mind killer" is a dead giveaway.

Oh Hell yeah..

Gotta have it...

Especially now.. my third child was just born on August 10th (not much sleep)

I stop at Starbucks every morning and get my Iced Venti Latte with 6 shots of espresso, and somedays 8 shots..

Through the day it is Coca-Cola,Full Throttle,Red Bull, Faygo Rock and Rye whatever I feel like that day..... but yes caffeine is an intregal part of my day......................

As for improving my gaming experience, I guess it does as it helps to keep me awake late at night..

My self i have never tried anything like you guys have done does that caffeine stuff really work. I do how ever drink a lot of Pepsi if that counts, but probably does not count . Is that stuff really good would like to try some of it one of these days. Any recommendations on which one to try to see if i like it. Been looking at one called Jolt cola would that kind of taste like regular cocoa cola,or Pepsi

Dex · 14-August-05, 06:34 PM

Pepsi has caffeine in it.

Chug a few cans of energy drinks before a gaming session and see if you notice your reactions increase.

Do you guys over in the US a A get an enery drink called Shark? (http://www.sharkenergy.com)

FlameThrower · 15-August-05, 01:45 PM

TYCOON · 15-August-05, 04:53 PM

I usually rock the Bawls at lans, sometimes Sobe energy stuff.
It does make your...play better...paranoid..

Slaymate · 15-August-05, 06:20 PM

I play better after a couple of beers relax me a little. Caffeine just stresses me out reducing my playing time.

Dex · 15-August-05, 07:25 PM

Drinking a few beers usually improves my guitar playing, but definately not my gaming!

I guess it depends on the person and the game. But I did say a couple not a endless supply.Though that would be nice, and endless supply.

elfuego · 16-August-05, 02:36 AM

caffeine tends to make my mind wander when i'm gaming at least on normal cercumstances. hhowever at a lan after a good while, sometime in the morning its the only thing that keeps me focused on the monitor and not on the inside of my eyelids. so oh yeah bring on the caffeine.

hellzknight · 16-August-05, 07:13 PM

well caffeine doesnt improve my gaming experience, my mind wanders
